Intractable Rare Dis Res 2024; 13:110-116. [PMID: 38836181 PMCID: PMC11145400 DOI: 10.5582/irdr.2023.01114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with complex etiology, and its pathological mechanism remains unclear. Our aim was to explore the effect of protein succinylation on RA by silencing Sirt5, sequencing succinylated proteins, and analyzing the sequencing results to identify potential biomarkers. We wanted to gain a clearer understanding of RA pathogenesis, quantitative assessment of succinylated proteins in Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients using liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry and enrichment analysis investigated using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). A total of 679 proteins and 2,471 lysine succinylation sites were found in RA patients, and 436 differentially expressed proteins and 1,548 differentially expressed succinylation sites were identified. Among them, 48 succinylation sites were upregulated in 38 proteins and 144 succinylation sites were downregulated in 82 proteins. Bioinformatics showed that succinylated proteins were significantly enriched in amino and fatty acid metabolisms. Results indicated that Sirt5 can affect various biological processes involved in RA FLSs, and succinylation caused by silencing Sirt5 plays a major role in RA progression. This study provides further understanding of RA pathogenesis and may facilitate searching for potential RA biomarkers.

Abstract
Resident synoviocytes and synovial microvasculature, together with immune cells from circulation, contribute to pannus formation, the main pathological feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), leading to destruction of adjacent cartilage and bone. Seeds, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, T cells and endothelial cells (ECs) seeds with high metabolic demands undergo metabolic reprogramming from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in response to poor soil of RA synovium with hypoxia, nutrient deficiency and inflammatory stimuli. Glycolysis provides rapid energy supply and biosynthetic precursors to support pathogenic growth of these seeds. The metabolite lactate accumulated during this process in turn condition the soil microenvironment and affect seeds growth by modulating signalling pathways and directing lactylation modifications. This review explores in depth the survival mechanism of seeds with high metabolic demands in the poor soil of RA synovium, providing useful support for elucidating the etiology of RA. In addition, we discuss the role and major post-translational modifications of proteins and enzymes linked to glycolysis to inspire the discovery of novel anti-rheumatic targets.

Abstract
The sirtuin family is a heterogeneous group of proteins that play a critical role in many cellular activities. Several degenerative diseases have recently been linked to aberrant sirtuin expression and activity because of the involvement of sirtuins in maintaining cell longevity and their putative antiaging function. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis associated with systemic autoimmune disorders are severe diseases characterized by premature and accelerated exhaustion and failure of alveolar type II cells combined with aberrant activation of fibroblast proliferative pathways leading to dramatic destruction of lung architecture. The mechanisms underlying alveolar type II cell exhaustion in these disorders are not fully understood. In this review, we have focused on the role of sirtuins in the pathogenesis of idiopathic and secondary pulmonary fibrosis and their potential as biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases.

Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 inhibits synoviocytes activation in rheumatoid arthritis through mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by SIRT3/mTOR axis. Inflamm Res 2024; 73:415-432.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mammalian STE20-like kinase 1 (MST1) is involved in the occurrence of cancer and autoimmune diseases by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and other functions. However, its role and downstream targets in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain unclear. METHODS The model of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs) overexpressing MST1 was constructed by lentiviral transfection in vitro and analyzed the effects of MST1 on apoptosis, migration, invasion, and inflammation of RA-FLSs. The effect of MST1 on joint synovial membrane inflammation and bone destruction was observed in vivo by establishing a rat model of arthritis with complete Freund's adjuvant. RESULTS MST1 is down-regulated in RA-FLSs, and up-regulation of MST1 inhibits the survival, migration, invasion and inflammation of RA-FLSs. Mechanistically, MST1 inhibits SIRT3/mTOR-signaling pathway, inducing decreased mitochondrial autophagy and increased mitochondrial fission, resulting in mitochondrial morphological abnormalities and dysfunction, and ultimately increased apoptosis. We have observed that activation of MST1 alleviates synovial inflammation and bone erosion in vivo. CONCLUSIONS MST1 reduces the survival, migration, invasion and inflammation of FLSs by inhibiting the SIRT3/mTOR axis to reduce mitochondrial autophagy and promote mitochondrial division, thereby achieving the potential role of relieving rheumatoid arthritis.

Preclinical Characterization of Pharmacologic NAD + Boosting as a Promising Therapeutic Approach in Rheumatoid Arthritis. Arthritis Rheumatol 2023; 75:1749-1761. [PMID: 37094367 DOI: 10.1002/art.42528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We analyzed NAD+ metabolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), its association with disease activity and clinical outcomes of RA, and the therapeutic potential of pharmacologic NAD+ boosting. METHODS Our study included 253 participants. In the first cohort, comprising 153 RA patients and 56 healthy donors, we assessed NAD+ levels and NAD+ -related gene pathways. We analyzed 92 inflammatory molecules by proximity extension assay. In the second cohort, comprising 44 RA patients starting anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs, we evaluated changes in NAD+ levels and their association with clinical response after 3 months. Mechanistic studies were performed ex vivo on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with RA to test the beneficial effects of NAD+ boosters, such as nicotinamide and nicotinamide riboside. RESULTS Reduced NAD+ levels were found in RA samples, in line with altered activity and expression of genes involved in NAD+ consumption (sirtuins, poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase, CD38), transport (connexin 43), and biosynthesis (NAMPT, NMNATs). Unsupervised clustering analysis identified a group of RA patients with the highest inflammatory profile, the lowest NAD+ levels, and the highest disease activity (as shown by the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints). NAD+ levels were modulated by anti-TNF therapy in parallel with the clinical response. In vitro studies using PBMCs from RA patients showed that nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide increased NAD+ levels via NAMPT and NMNAT and reduced their prooxidative, proapoptotic, and proinflammatory status. CONCLUSION RA patients display altered NAD+ metabolism, directly linked to their inflammatory and disease activity status, which was reverted by anti-TNF therapy. The preclinical beneficial effects of NAD+ boosters, as shown in leukocytes from RA patients, along with their proven clinical safety, might pave the way for the development of clinical trials using these compounds.

Abstract
Exosomes are small-diameter endosomal vesicles secreted in all biological fluids and play biological/pathological roles in the cell. These pathological roles are played by exosome's cargo molecules through inter-cellular communication. Exosomal cargo molecules contain proteins and miRNAs. miRNAs are small non-coding RNA fragments involved in the reduction of final protein output by destabilizing or suppressing the translation of target messenger RNA (mRNA). This deregulation of the protein due to miRNAs ultimately accelerates the process of disease pathogenesis. The role of exosomal miRNAs has been investigated in different diseases and the limited number of studies have been published concerning exosomal miRNAs and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The current study is designed to investigate the role of exosomal miRNAs (miRNA-103a-3p, miRNA-10a-5p, miRNA-204-3p, miRNA-330-3p, and miRNA-19b) in the pathogenesis of RA. Furthermore, the role of selected exosomal miRNAs in RA pathogenesis was further explored by estimating oxidative stress and histone deacetylation in RA patients. In the current study, 306 RA patients and equal numbers of age/gender-matched controls were used. The level of expression of above-mentioned exosomal miRNAs was assessed by performing qRT PCR. Deacetylation and oxidative stress assays were performed to estimate the 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG level) and histone deacetylation levels using the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis indicated a significantly downregulated expression of miRNA-103a-3p (p<0.0001), miR-10a-5p (p<0.0001), miR-204-3p (p<0.0001), miR-330-3p (p<0.0001) and miR-19b (p<0.0001) in RA patients compared to controls. Significantly increased levels of 8-OHdG (p<0.0001) and histone deacetylation (p<0.0001) were observed among RA patients compared to controls. Spearman correlation showed a negative correlation between the deregulated exosomal miRNAs and increased oxidative stress and histone deacetylation in RA patients. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis showed a good diagnostic specificity/sensitivity of the above-mentioned exosomal miRNAs among RA patients. These analyses indicated the potential role of deregulated exosomal miRNAs in the initiation of RA by targeting oxidative stress and histone deacetylation processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is reported downregulated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the protective effects of SIRT1 on tissue damage and organ failure may be related to cellular ferroptosis. However, the exact mechanism by which SIRT1 regulates RA remains unclear. METHODS Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and western blot assays were performed to explore the expressions of SIRT1 and Yin Yang 1 (YY1). CCK-8 assay was used for cytoactive detection. The interaction between SIRT1 and YY1 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). DCFH-DA assay and iron assay were applied to detect the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and iron ion levels. RESULTS In the serum of RA patients, SIRT1 was downregulated, but YY1 was upregulated. In LPS-induced synoviocytes, SIRT1 could increase cell viability and decrease ROS and iron levels. Mechanistically, YY1 downregulated the expression of SIRT1 by inhibiting its transcription. YY1 overexpression partly revised the effects of SIRT1 on ferroptosis in synoviocytes. CONCLUSION SIRT1 is transcriptionally repressed by YY1 and inhibits the ferroptosis of synoviocytes induced by LPS, so as to relieve the pathological process of RA. Therefore, SIRT1 might be a new diagnosis and therapeutic target of RA.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease leading to joint destruction. The causes of RA are not fully known. Most likely, the development of the disease depends on the coexistence of many factors, such as hereditary factors, immune system defects, gender, infectious agents, nicotine, and stress. Various epigenetic changes have been identified and correlated with the aggressive phenotype of RA, including the involvement of sirtuins, which are enzymes found in all living organisms. Their high content in the human body can slow down the aging processes, reduce cell death, counteract the appearance of inflammation, and regulate metabolic processes. Sirtuins can participate in several steps of RA pathogenesis. This narrative review presents, collects, and discusses the role of all sirtuins (1-7) in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
The sirtuin system consists of seven highly conserved regulatory enzymes responsible for metabolism, antioxidant protection, and cell cycle regulation. The great interest in sirtuins is associated with the potential impact on life extension. This article summarizes the latest research on the activity of sirtuins and their role in the aging process. The effects of compounds that modulate the activity of sirtuins were discussed, and in numerous studies, their effectiveness was demonstrated. Attention was paid to the role of a caloric restriction and the risks associated with the influence of careless sirtuin modulation on the organism. It has been shown that low modulators' bioavailability/retention time is a crucial problem for optimal regulation of the studied pathways. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the modulator structure and potential reactivity with sirtuins in silico studies should precede in vitro and in vivo experiments. The latest achievements in nanobiotechnology make it possible to create promising molecules, but many of them remain in the sphere of plans and concepts. It seems that solving the mystery of longevity will have to wait for new scientific discoveries.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic symmetric synovial inflammation and erosive bone destruction. Mitochondria are the main site of cellular energy supply and play a key role in the process of energy metabolism. They possess certain self-regulatory and repair capabilities. Mitochondria maintain relative stability in number, morphology, and spatial structure through biological processes, such as biogenesis, fission, fusion, and autophagy, which are collectively called mitochondrial homeostasis. An imbalance in the mitochondrial homeostatic environment will affect immune cell energy metabolism, synovial cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory signaling. These biological processes are involved in the onset and development of rheumatoid arthritis. In this review, we found that in rheumatoid arthritis, abnormal mitochondrial homeostasis can mediate various immune cell metabolic disorders, and the reprogramming of immune cell metabolism is closely related to their inflammatory activation. In turn, mitochondrial damage and homeostatic imbalance can lead to mtDNA leakage and increased mtROS production. mtDNA and mtROS are active substances mediating multiple inflammatory pathways. Several rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic agents regulate mitochondrial homeostasis and repair mitochondrial damage. Therefore, modulation of mitochondrial homeostasis would be one of the most attractive targets for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

[PMID: 35990673 PMCID: PMC9386151 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.930278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that severely affects patients' physical and mental health, leading to chronic synovitis and destruction of bone joints. Although various available clinical treatment options exist, patients respond with varying efficacies due to multiple factors, and there is an urgent need to discover new treatment options to improve clinical outcomes. Cuproptosis is a newly characterized form of cell death. Copper causes cuproptosis by binding to lipid-acylated components of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, leading to protein aggregation, loss of iron-sulfur cluster proteins, and eventually proteotoxic stress. Targeting copper cytotoxicity and cuproptosis are considered potential options for treating oncological diseases. The synovial hypoxic environment and the presence of excessive glycolysis in multiple cells appear to act as inhibitors of cuproptosis, which can lead to excessive survival and proliferation of multiple immune cells, such as fibroblast-like synoviocytes, effector T cells, and macrophages, further mediating inflammation and bone destruction in RA. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to elaborate and summarize the linkage of cuproptosis and key genes regulating cuproptosis to the pathological mechanisms of RA and their effects on a variety of immune cells. This study aimed to provide a theoretical basis and support for translating preclinical and experimental results of RA to clinical protocols.
